Company energy audit report
Logistics property, Turku
Prepared by
An energy audit that meets the law. And pays.
At Iiva we look at energy the way we look at production: we measure, optimise and verify. Independently, and always with more than one option.
We see.We optimise. You save.
What the report looks like
The outcome of the audit is a report management understands: where the energy goes, where the savings are and what they cost. Here is an excerpt from the start of a sample report.

Who this applies to in practice
The obligation looks at consumption, not at your industry. These six sectors cross the threshold most often from a direction nobody expects.
- Transport and logistics A fleet of roughly seven heavy vehicles is enough to cross the threshold.
- Earthworks and contracting Fuel for machinery is often a bigger item than the buildings.
- Forestry contracting and chipping Harvesting machinery and chippers count towards consumption just like buildings.
- Greenhouses and agriculture Heating and lighting make even a small operator energy-intensive.
- Ports, terminals and warehousing Machinery, cold storage and lighting cross the threshold unnoticed.
- Industry and properties Waste heat and control curves are the biggest single findings.
Under 2,700 MWh? A voluntary Motiva-model audit is eligible for a 40% subsidy. How the subsidised audit works
Three ways to meet the obligation – we help you choose the right one
According to the Energy Authority's interpretation, the audit and energy management obligation can be met by several routes. The right route depends on consumption and on which systems the company already has.
Mandatory energy audit
2,700 – 23,600 MWh / year
For companies consuming 2,700–23,600 MWh/year. Company-level audit, the required site audits and reporting to the Energy Authority. Measures with payback periods.
Read about the auditEnergy management system (ISO 50001 / ETJ+)
over 23,600 MWh / year
Mandatory by 11 October 2027 for companies consuming over 23,600 MWh/year; for others, a way to be exempt from the audit obligation. We build the system ready for certification – the certificate is issued by an accredited certification body.
Compare ISO 50001 and ETJ+ISO 14001 route to the energy management obligation
when an environmental management system is already certified
A company consuming over 23,600 MWh per year does not need to build a separate energy management system if it has a certified ISO 14001 system and, alongside it, either an energy audit meeting the legal requirements or the energy efficiency agreement with ETJ+. We carry out the audit or the ETJ+ implementation within the existing system so that maintenance is not duplicated.
